About Global Footprint Network
Our mission is to promote a sustainable economy by advancing the Ecological
Footprint, a measurement tool that makes the reality of planetary limits
relevant to decision-makers.

The launch of the Australian calculator is the first phase of a global roll-out of a world calculator which will launch later this year. Following the Australian calculator, a US version will be available this spring, and Canada will follow shortly thereafter.

Global Footprint Network has initiated this project to provide people around the world with an interactive and entertaining tool they can use to explore and reduce their footprints. The calculator is based on internationally accepted methodological standards, and will be continually updated with the latest Footprint data. Later additions of the calculator will incorporate enhanced features such as a blog site and a social networking feature which will enable users to engage in dialogue about how to live a low-footprint lifestyle.

Global Footprint Network is inviting corporate, government, and NGO partners to help launch the calculator world-wide. The calculator can be customized for specific organizations and geographical areas. Please contact Susan Burns if you would like to be involved or would like the calculator customized for your organization.
